I seem to have a problem with the volume pot on my brand new Majesty. At least I think it's the volume pot. I noticed that my piezo pickup works fine but I wasn't getting any sound out of my magnetic pickups. I played around with the volume pot by turning it and push/pulling it and some combination of those things managed to make it work. But then I turned it again and the sound cut out. I was able to get sound to intermittently come back by playing around with the pot but now it's in a state where I can't get any sound at all.

I looked at the pot itself and it seems to have an awful lot of solder points. I'm not even sure if it's possible to replace it without removing the main board.

Here's a picture of the electronics (not my guitar, but same electronics). The pot in question is the one on the bottom left. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1...-a054-488c-a539-0c78e4a06d17.jpg?v=1597770668

I'm really disappointed with the quality control on these guitars. So far I've had:

- Broken tuning machine
- Broken volume pot
- Loose pickup switch (thankfully the screw just needed to be tightened)
